AgentsSka Posted November 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 NP is definitely awesome. And special.Too bad you have to deal with that one weirdo who hijacks your shower post-workout, though. I've seen no weirdo's.

AgentsSka Posted November 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 I hit up the 5:30 session of NP this morning. It was our first cold morning - 28Ëš here. It was also so dark that when a friend asked me and another guy if we knew each other, neither of us really knew. So, we hugged, and I asked his name. After the workout, I saw them talking again and just started laughing. We already knew each other. It was just so freaking dark, and he was so bundled, I had no idea who he was. Last couple of days have been light. Easy 5ish miles yesterday morning. Casual full tour with fire drills & a few good conversations this morning.

QuirkyDM Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Nice to have you back and reminding us of the NP awesome. The days are definitely getting shorter. I went for a run at 4:15 yesterday and before 5:00, it was dark and the street lights were on. Quote Quirky DM My Battle Log: QuirkyDM going Quazy "Success is simply a matter of luck.

AgentsSka Posted November 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Great weekend in Philly - spending time with countless fiends & making many others. Oh, and, running a small foot race.

Xena Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 have you done it?Nope. Just thought it sounded super cool. I did look at the website, and it sounded like a *really* local thing...as in mostly geared toward people who were associated with the school in some way.

We were walking through the city ringing our accomplishments out with the sounds of our little bells. But, my clapper fell out. I have a broken liberty bell. 3 Quote Current Challenge || Previous:: 2020 Reset There are a ton of previous challenges that I'm not linking "Freaking pansies.

QuirkyDM Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 That's a pretty cool idea. Especially with the mix of red, blue and green Spartan medals to make it look authentically festive. (and hopefully an orange someday) The kids are starting to rack their own medals up, too, so it would be a good way to display them all.

And, I'm doing it for the sole purpose of qualifying for the 2017 Boston Marathon. #RoadToTheBQ starts... now.

AgentsSka Posted December 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 LOVE IT!! Which May marathon?? Nice, dude! Time to kick some distance in the ass. Yeah, tell us where you're going and whether motivational ass slaps can be provided. Motivational ass slaps are ALWAYS welcome. Currently looking like I am going to hit the following target races: 2.28.16 - Hyannis Half Marathon - hoping to go sub 1:30 here. Then, on 3.26.16 I'm going to run from Maine to Massachusetts! WHAT?! Eastern States 20 Miler. Culminating on 5.1.16 with the Providence Marathon. I need to run a 3:15 to qualify. But, because of the number of qualifiers, the time is usually adjusted by up to two minutes to actually obtain a bib to run Boston. So, my goal time will actually be 3:10. That means an average of 7:15 pace for 26.2 miles. My time in the Philly half averaged out to a 7:12 pace. (I was actually running a 7:05 pace most of the time - but stops to pee, drink, etc cost me a bit.) So, essentially I need to maintain that pace for another 13.1 miles. Yikes! I chose Providence partially because it is 2 weeks after Boston. So, there should be no shortage of training partners for those long runs. Also, because it is local and I don't have to travel concerns to worry about. It is relatively flat. (Probably a little hillier than the New Jersey Marathon which is run the same day. But, c'est la vie.) And, partially because the Half Marathon run the same day was my first half ever... and kind of jump started Version 2 of my running career. So, it will be good to go back to the scene of the crime. I've teamed up with a coach who will be guiding me in my first REAL training program since college. Hint: a really freaking long time ago. New training program will be starting on Sunday. I'm excited. I'm nervous. But, I'm going to fucking do this. 1 Quote Current Challenge || Previous:: 2020 Reset There are a ton of previous challenges that I'm not linking "Freaking pansies.
